The Enid Blyton Society

I was browsing in the newsagents today and on the cover of 19th April Country Life this headline jumped out at me:

Ripping yarns: why all children should read the Famous Five

Inside is a four page article by Flora Watkins. I haven't read it yet, will enjoy doing that this evening, but wanted to give you all the heads up.

Thanks for letting us know, Mikki!

Sounds interesting! Thanks mikki!

From the title it sounds like a positive article. Thanks for bringing our attention to it, Mikki.

trouble is, its from last week, so may be hard to find!

You can order last week's issue here.

Thanks, Mikki.

Thanks Nigel.

You're all very welcome. It's a lovely warm affectionate article, I enjoyed it very much.

I was afraid of that. Being on the western edge of Europe, our newsagent's magazines are often a little behind. There were loads on the shelf so I can pop back in today and see if they're still there, if anyone would like me to get them a copy?

It's great you can order it from the website anyway, at £3.50. Here it is €5

It's a shame I didn't see it earlier in the week. Mind you, I wouldn't have spotted it at all if I hadn't been loitering in there yesterday waiting to meet a friend.

New one on the shelf today and all the old ones sent back

At least you can order it, thanks to Nigel's link
